1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The scaffold protein IQGAP1 assembles multiprotein signaling complexes to influence biological functions. Cell surface receptors, particularly receptor tyrosine kinases and G-protein coupled receptors, are common IQGAP1 binding partners. Interactions with IQGAP1 modulate receptor expression, activation, and/or trafficking. Moreover, IQGAP1 couples extracellular stimuli to intracellular outcomes via scaffolding of signaling proteins downstream of activated receptors, including mitogen-activated protein kinases, constituents of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway, small GTPases, and β-arrestins. Reciprocally, some receptors influence IQGAP1 expression, subcellular localization, binding properties, and post-translational modifications. Importantly, the receptor:IQGAP1 crosstalk has pathological implications ranging from diabetes and macular degeneration to carcinogenesis. Here, we describe the interactions of IQGAP1 with receptors, summarize how they modulate signaling, and discuss their contribution to pathology. We also address the emerging functions in receptor signaling of IQGAP2 and IQGAP3, the other human IQGAP proteins. Overall, this review emphasizes the fundamental roles of IQGAPs in coupling activated receptors to cellular homeostasis.
